The NYC Department of Records & Information Services will welcome former Parks Commissioner Gordon Davis for a live recording of Person Place Thing with Emmy Award winner, Randy Cohen.
Person Place Thing is an interview show based on the idea that people are especially engaging when they speak, not directly about themselves, but about something they care about. Guests talk about a person, place, and thing they find meaningful. The result: surprising stories from great talkers.
Join either virtually (via Zoom) or in person (limited seats available).
Note: If you are interested in attending this event in person, please select the “In-Person Attendance” ticket option when RSVPing for this event on Eventbrite.
